I had nothing special planned for dinner last night and I didn't feel like going out. So, I pulled some spotted prawns out of the freezer. It only took a few minutes to defrost them. I just turn on the tap and let the water run over them.
I looked for a recipe that sounded interesting and found a few for Black Pepper Shrimp but none that really appealed to me. So I just winged it. Served over rice. Moe declared this recipe a keeper.

Ann, the photo looks like there are tomatoes or red pepper in the bowl?

ReplyDeleteAnonymous, as you will see from the recipe there are no tomatoes or red peppers. My guess is that you are looking at the tails on the prawns. The pink colour might look like tomatoes or peppers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary and Monique. You both are always so supportive.
